Black Isle, Scotland hotel rooms at the Freetobook

"Great location. Paid parking is close. Most of the old building looks refreshed, but some hall carpeting looks tattered. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious. Breakfast buffet was hearty, but the coffee offered was so bad we bought instant in town and made our own at breakfast. Staff are very nice. There is a bar on-site, but we didn't use it."

"Very helpful and friendly staff. They were able to fix a sandwich for us on our late arrival. Very good breakfast and the evening meal we had was excellent. Clean and quiet room. We didn't use the parking as we arrived by train. Hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the station."

"Great location.Great staff"

"Excellent location. Very good breakfast options for the basic continental. Generous room servicing. Would definitely book again."

"Quite a lovely stay"

"Great room and service. Staff very friendly and breakfast was great."

"A lovely hotel in a perfect setting by the river. My only quibble is that one morning at breakfast two staff members had a disparaging conversation about a colleague within earshot of guests. Bar prices were a bit on the high side but other than that The Palace was terrific."

"The breakfast menu was very good with plenty of choice. The bar carried an extensive list of whisky & gin."

"Worst experience we have ever had at any hotel or guest house. USB outlets in room didn't work. Room had an odor. Bathroom fan was covered in thick layers of dust. Lamps didn't have working lightbulbs. Fire alarm went off twice in one night waking us up at 1am. Staff couldn't figure out what was going on and we called Fire Brigade ourselves. We didn't get an apology or explanationn Morning after the entrance hallway was full of animal feces and spread on the wall. One staff member reeked of cigarette smoke and made the entire front desk area smell of smoke. They allow people to just loiter in the entrance drinking and smoking. No protein/eggs at breakfast ever. Just all around terrible experience and would never suggest this place to anyone Location is okay if you want to be in the heart of downtown but parking was several blocks away. It's noisy as you can expect. Very rowdy bars and bus stop directly below room window."
